Travis Kelce made his debut at The Match, a celebrity golf tournament held at the Wynn Golf Club on Thursday, June 29. The NFL star enjoyed playing golf, and after striking his first shot on the first hole, Travis Kelce showed off some moves to the audience to celebrate the inauguration of his debut match.
Last year, Justin Thomas teamed up with his best friend Jordan Spieth to compete against Tiger Woods and his teammate Rory McIlroy. Surprisingly, the American duo won the event over McIlroy and Woods.
An interesting twist was witnessed at the eighth iteration of the event on Thursday when Travis Kelce and his partner Patrick Mahomes defeated NBA stars, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson.

Ahead of the start of 2023 The Match, Curry had a favorable chance to win the event as he is +1.3 handicapped in golf. However, unexpectedly Kelce and Mahomes took home the trophy of The Match.
Besides his game, Travis Kelce made headlines for his unique outfit. He donned a knitted half-sleeve jumper clubbed up with knitted capri pants that has four pockets.

The Match History
The Match is a golf competition that began in 2018. Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson competed in the inaugural event at Shadow Creek Golf Course in North Las Vegas, in which Mickelson registered his victory.
The duo competed in the event's second edition in 2020, which was hosted at Medalist Golf Club in Hobe Sound, Florida. Mickelson paired with six-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady, while Woods teamed up with two-time Super Bowl champion Peyton Manning. Interestingly, Woods won the event by a single stroke.
Woods subsequently skipped the next three editions of The Match, only to return in December 2022 for the seventh edition, while Mikelson played the first four editions, winning two of them.
